Local Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
An important official said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
